USING THE EFFECT FUNCTIONS With the built-in digital signal processor (DSP), sound effects can be enjoyed and BPM measured. Features of Various Effectors AUTO BPM COUNTER Automatically measures music BPM (beats per minute; tempo) and displays it digitally. It not only counts the beat of bass sounds but also calculates (using a computer) the music's original BPM, which DJs require, and displays it digitally. Thus, BPM can now be checked not only aurally, as was conventional, but also visually, enabling quicker, simpler mixing of music with different tempos. Use of the TAP switch to input the beat manually makes it possible to set BPM for music for which it is difficult to measure (a capella, improvisation, etc.). Beat Effector (Effects linked to BPM) Links various effects to the BPM calculated with the aforementioned AUTO BPM COUNTER to enable unprecedented sound production. 1. DELAY (one sound repeated) Quickly and easily mixes delayed sounds of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1 and 8/1 beats. Mixing with 1/2-beat-delayed sound, for example, will change the beat from 4 to 8. Mixing with a 3/4-beat-delayed sound will change the rhythm to a bouncy one. Example: Original (4 beats) 3. Auto Pan [PAN (L-R BALANCE)] Automatically pans sound to the left and right (auto beat pan) to the rhythm of a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1 or 8/1 beat. Short auto pan, for panning sound to the left and right in a short time that cannot be covered manually, is also possible. Example: L Center (Stereo) R Auto Beat Pan 1/2 delay (8 beats) 2. ECHO (repeated sounds) Quickly and easily mixes echoes of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1 and 8/1beats. When input sound is cut with a 1/1-beat echo, for example, the music will fade out while sounds are repeated that match the beat. When a 1/1-beat echo is imposed on the microphone, microphone sound will be played repeatedly, matching the beat. Troll (musical round-type) effects can be produced by imposing a 1/1-beat echo on song vocals. Example: 1 cycle = 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1 or 8/1 beat L Center (Stereo) R Short Auto Pan 4. Auto Trans (TRANS) Automatically cuts sound to the rhythm of a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1 or 8/1 beat. Example: Cut Cut Time 1 cycle = 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1 or 8/1 beat 1 beat 1 beat Cuts the input sound 12 Beat Fade out
